mountain sports

Glencoe was the first commercial ski area in Scotland to be opened in 1956 with its overhead ski lift on Meal A'Bhuiridh. It now has seven lifts and 19 runs, so not a massive ski area, but when snow lays it's enough for some skiing and snowboarding. You can buy day lift passes or season passes and equipment hire and ski and snowboarding lessons are also available. Check the Glencoe Mountain Resort webpage for more information.

The Glencoe Mountain Resort runs throughout the year and it has recently developed a downhill mountain bike track. The chairlifts have been adapted so you can take your bikes up. There is also all the mountain biking opportunities around Fort William and at the Nevis Range Mountain Centre. You can hire bikes at Glencoe Mountain Bike Centre, Clachaig Inn, Glencoe.

During the summer the mountains are also host to Munro baggers, hillwalkers and those enjoying more leisurely walks on the lower slopes. The Glencoe area is estimated to attract 150,000 hillwalker visits every year and there are 20 major climbing sites to keep you happy. The eight Munros on the National Trust area are: 8 Munros on those - Bidean Nam Bian, Stob Coire Sgreamhach, Sgurr nam Fiannaidh, Meal Dearg, Stob na Broige, Stob Dearg, Stob Coire Rainneach and Stob Dubh.
